bilateral trade as expectations of senior leaders of both nations.

Médéa entrepreneurs asked for more information about the
Vietnamese market, especially investment procedures and import tariffs. They
said they want to increase collaboration with the Vietnamese side to export
agricultural products (grapes, apples, olive oil, wine and chicken), ceramics,
animal food, apparel and footwear to the Southeast Asian nation.

Benrekia Mohamed, Chairman of the Médéa Chamber
of Commerce and Industry, called on Vietnamese companies to step up investment
in the province, particularly in mining, processing farm produce and sharing
experience in ceramics production.

Tru said the Vietnamese Embassy will provide the best
possible conditions to help the two sides’ businesses strengthen connections
and bolster trade and investment.

He also invited Médéa travel firms to take part
in the Vietnam-Algeria tourism cooperation forum, scheduled to be held in
Algiers this November.

Also on July 30, the embassy’s officials visited ECD Foods,
an agricultural product processor and exporter in Médéa, whose leaders also expressed
interest in the Vietnamese market and asked for favourable conditions to
promote trade ties with Vietnamese companies.–VNA
